At Trail, we want to optimize the way we offer quick trainings or meetings about the software. We don't want to waste your time, or ours, travelling to a different location for a meeting that could just as easily be done online.
For this reason, we use Google Meet, a tool quite similar to Zoom or Skype 👍
In this article you will learn:
How to access a Google Meet meeting
1. Make sure you are using Google Chrome
If you aren't using Chrome, you can download it here.
2. Use Google Chrome to log into your email
You will be prompted to log into your account. Please enter in all appropriate details.
3. Go to your Calendar
This can be found in your applications, which are represented by a collection of dots in the formation of a square. Your applications can be accessed at the top right of the web page if you use Gmail, or the top left of the web page if you use Outlook.
Here is what it will look like on Outlook:

If you are signed into Google, you'll be able to request to join the meeting immediately.
